Why are some days good and some bad
im crying my eyes out and I dont know why.

 

[Shifter]

Rach. It will get better, this isn't forever. You have sought help and that is the first, most important step

 

[nataliecn]

Bah. This is a really shit day for me!
I've cried. I've gotten it a fight with OH.
All because Grady is screaming and screaming and nothing will stop him!
Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't be allowed to be a mum!

 

[Shifter]

natalie. We all have hard days hun, I'm sure you're a wonderful mum. Is there somebody who could take Grady for an hour so you and OH can chill out and talk over your fall out?

 

[nataliecn]

my MIL is going to take him tomorrow afternoon for the night! thank god!

Hi ladies. Sorry that you had a bad day the other day nat and rach Yesterday Jake was not crying so much and in the afternoon he was laying on his mat and i was on the floor with him and he looked into my eyes and gave me the biggest, gummiest, cutest smile! I almost melted with love, pride and excitement!!! I managed to capture a video of him smiling too to show his daddy. He did have a colicky screaming session later on but it wasn't too bad coz OH was in.

Last night OH slept in the living room with Jake so i could have a good nights sleep and he didn't wake me till 9am and he brought breakfast in bed i think he is finally getting it that i am struggling andnow he's helping Jake hasn't had a screaming session at all today so it looks like the stuff i got off the doc, the change of milk and the mega expensive bottles might be working now i just hope we have a good night.

So, feeling pretty good today but the dred of next week is setting in coz everyone is at wrk and i get left alone. The countdown begins again, 6 nights till my night off lol (OH does friday nights) Hope everyone is doing well and i'm really pleased your starting to feel better shifter xx

hey girls, I have pnd too, have been on tablets for a month now and the past week I have started to feel more like myself.

I've never suffered with depression so this really came out of the blue and I didn't recognise it for a long time.

My symptoms included,

Not wanting to do/looking forward to ANYTHING
Feeling trapped in the house
Feeling scared of leaving the house
Thinking I was a terrible mum, that Alfie would be better off without me
Over reacting to small things, like if he didn't drink much of his bottle I would cry.
Crying every day.
Desperately not wanting OH to go to work
Not eating for days, then binging.
Waking up lots and lots even when Alfie was sleeping
Feeling like I never wanted another child, I was convinced I wanted a hysterectomy
When it got really bad I was imagining ending my life which is what made me realise that I needed to go to the docs.


I just wish I hadn't left it so long because I really feel much better and I finally feel I am bonding properly and starting to enjoy being a mum.

 

[ALY]

Michy am sorry your having to go thro this but am really glad you are feeling better
Snettyb thats so good of your oh

 

[Michy]

Thanks hun, it has een a horrid, horrid time. I didn't realise how poorly I was till I started to feel better. Hopefully the worst is behind me now. xxx
